Feel like that will affect most rappers more than Cole tbh

Only Drake didnt do that so he still gon sell big (and he already was the biggest)

It won't boost his first week numbers.

Wow! Big w! He was pretty close to having the highest first week of the year but it’s okay being second place!

these numbers are great for the current climate, yall realize that an album will have to accumulate over 550 million streams in a week just to reach 400k units?

No bundles tho

So yeah think Trab will go more towards 20 tracks

Which is kinda sad coz concise albums usually better

They changed the way they count physical albums too, so they don’t get counted until they ship

Saw a lot of cole fans saying they bought the vinyl or cd but the 288k number doesn’t reflect that

Really well either way 330k safe bet

facts this why nobody except Drake, Big Sean and Adele doing over 500k

I think it’ll be the same as Astro, I’d be shocked if he sold past 400k but you never know especially with his huge ass fanbase

Bro snuck big Sean in there

Cole stans in this thread fishing for any excuse

big sean

Big Sean aint doing over 100k fw in this climate

Cole mightve been talking bout him

Eh

Astro had mad bundles so idk

He just did over 100k

y’all really think that Big Sean not doing over 500k with the Jhene hype and the redemption chapter?

Barely

Album deserved more tbh

Also dropped w these new rules?

Kendrick definitely selling more

Wale could do 500k with a good rollout

Because he dropped in September before the new rules took effect

Yea but to be fair he didn’t really have as big as a fanbase as he does now; still a huge ass album but in reality it sold 300k cuz some of it were bundles

It's important to note that these aren't the official final numbers. Billboard's numbers could either be higher or lower. We'll know by Sunday.

HDD had Taylor's last release debuting with 300K SPS but Billboard had her debuting with 291K SPS.
